Megan Thee Stallionhas no problem with her hip-hop peers making diss tracks about her — in fact, she believes it means she’s doing something right.

“I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. If people feel like I’m somebody to aim at, then I must be pretty high up if you’re reaching up at me. I must be some kind of competition,” she said. “That makes me feel good. That makes me feel like I could rap because if I wasn’t the s—, y’all wouldn’t be worried about me.”

Eminem’s recent track “Houdini” also referenced Megan and the shooting, as did Minaj’s song “FTCU,” which came out last year (“Stay in your Tory Lanez, bitch, I’m not Iggy,” Minaj raps).

In response to Minaj, Megan (née Megan Pete) responded witha song of her owncalled “Hiss,” in which she rapped, “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan / These hoes mad at Megan’s Law." (Megan’s Law is a federal law that provides the public with information on registered sex offenders; Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty is a registered sex offender who was convicted of first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old in 1995.) Days later, Minajreleased another trackcalled “Big Foot,” which seemed to respond directly to Megan’s “Megan’s Law” dig.

“I still to this day don’t know what the problem is,” she said. “I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Megan said that she used to “really care how I made a lot of people feel, before how they made me feel” — but that she’s now working on setting boundaries.

“Everything was about making other people smile and other people happy. Now I’m in a space where I want to be happy,” the Grammy-winning star said. “I’m not going to take away [from] being happy so I can put other people’s life and happiness as a priority over mine.”
